    StJPdP to Finisterre in 30 Days - Sample Itinerary?

    It's foolhardy to post such an open-ended question (without mentioning what time of year, how fit you are, what type of accommodation you will stay in and so on) and then request no books - well for a start you should get a guidebook such as Brierley and look at how much ascent and descent there...

    One Albergue that you’d recommend

    Look under the resources heading at the very top of this page

    Credential...enough space?

    Best to have one single credential - collect one stamp per day and simply add a second stamp at the same place when you recommence your camino each year - no problem with overflowing

    Elevation Gain on Camino Frances

    Elevation Gain on Camino Frances

    Exactly the sort of information worth buying a good guidebook for!

    Exploration day at the end: Estella or Los Arcos?

    I'd be spending a couple more days in Bilbao

    Completing the French Way in 28 days

    Not everybody has unlimited time for the Camino - conversely if you must stay in albergues then you will be limited in the number of hours that you can walk each day - don't bother with rest days - try walking 28km at home and see how long it takes you - I did it in 20 days (and I'm no Spring...

    Hand Luggage (Backpacks)

    How about buying backpacks that fit this common hand-baggage size - just need to be a bit tougher on not bringing too many "just-in-case" items

    Common Question: Days to walk SJPP to Santiago

    The Brierley stages are a good benchmark - so 33 days or so -for lots of people the key constraint will be stopping early enough to get into albergues - I prefer to stay in hotels/hostels so that I can walk for longer each day - it took me 20 days to walk from SJPP to Santiago (though I treated...

    Favorite Leg/Section

    The final one into Santiago! From Ribadiso on the Frances, Boimorto on the Norte and Melide on the Primitivo

    Napoleon Route Closed.

    It's also about ensuring that the fire and rescue services can concentrate on their main role throughout the rest of their domain
  12. S

    Liner versus sleeping bag

    Much better to ditch the sleeping bag (and the expense and bulk) and just take the silk liner plus a long sleeve merino wool shirt that you can wear at night if too cold (as well as wearing it during the day)
  13. S

    Long Walks (more than 10 km) between Albergues

    Not necessarily the case - I've walked from Lugo in two days, walking for 10 hours on each day My first Camino from SJPP took 20 days - you just have to walk in the afternoons as well
  14. S

    Train or Bus

    The bus from the airport leaves at 00 and 30 minutes past the hour - takes some 20 minutes to the bus station and, if you get off at Parliament stop and short walk, some 30 minutes to the railway station
  15. S

    Luggage transport

    Yes, carry it on your back

    G7 in Biarritz from 24 to 26 August

    From biarritzdon's earlier post I posted a similar message a few days ago. The train stations in Bayonne and Biarritz will be closed as well. Apparently Express Bourricot is making preparations to offer service from Pau to SJPdP.

    G7 in Biarritz from 24 to 26 August

    https://www.sudouest.fr/2019/04/09/biarritz-ni-train-ni-avion-durant-le-week-end-du-g7-fin-aout-5973744-4037.php A comment to this article says that Bayonne station will also be closed - so Pau seems your only way to get to SJPP that weekend

    Pilgrims And Tourists to PAY, Except to Pray, to visit the Cathedral in Lugo

    This refers to Lugo Cathedral not Santaigo

    Transport from Sarria to A Coruna in October

    Using Google Maps for today, train from Sarria via Lugo to A Coruna then airport bus
  20. S

    Bus from Pau airport to Saint Jean

    You will probably need to go from the airport to Pau station, then train to Bayonne then train to SJPP
